The 6th International Consultation on Incontinence met between September 13-15th 2016 in Tokyo and was organised by the International Consultation on Urological Diseases and the International Continence Society (ICS), in order to develop consensus statements and recommendations for the diagnosis, evaluation and treatment of urinary incontinence, faecal incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse and bladder pain syndrome.The consensus statements are evidence based following a thorough review of the available literature and the global subjective opinion of recognised experts serving on focused committees. The individual committee reports were developed and peer reviewed by open presentation and comment. The Scientific Committee, consisting of the Chairs of all the committees then refined the final consensus statements. These consensus statements published in 2017 will be periodically reevaluated in the light of clinical experience, technological progressand research
